I Would Say It Like This

Matthew Henry said it like this…

“Those places that have plenty of Bibles, and ministers, and serious good people, are really rich; and it contributes to that which makes a nation rich in this world. It is therefore the interest of a people to support religion among them and to take heed of every thing that threatens to hinder it.”

Matthew Henry on Isaiah 33

To be clear, I have no disagreement with what he says. But I would just say it with a few more qualifiers today.

Those places that have plenty of people reading their Bibles, and faithful ministers, and people striving to live serious lives, are really rich; and it contributes to that which makes a nation rich in this temporal world. It is therefore the interest of a nation to defend Biblical religion among them and to take heed of every thing that threatens to hinder it.
